Anyone remember that scene in Witness where Harrison Ford is repairing
the birdhouse he ran over? He's in the Quakers' barn planing a board
and the plane sings. I always wondered if that was Ford's idea as he
used to be a carpenter or someone else's.


A nice big old wooden body jointer plane. He sure looked like he
knew what he was doing.

BTW, his hosts were Amish. They are frequently confused with
Quakers and Pennsylvania Dutch.

Ford was 'discovered' while working as a set carpenter in Hollywood.
I've often wondered if he did other carpentry before that.
